Thomas Sutcliffe Mort and Eugene Nicolle Victorian Patent 1139 lodged 4 August
1868
Climate and the tyranny of distance spurred development of efficient methods
of refrigeration.
Eugene Nicolle, a brilliant French engineer, in collaboration with Thomas Sutcliffe
Mort invented and patented a number of improvements in shipboard refrigeration
that permitted development of frozen meat sales to Britain. Ten years of research
resulted in 12 patents. In 1879 the Stratheleven carried 40 tons of frozen beef
and mutton to England where it was judged of such good quality that it could
not be distinguished from freshly killed English beef.
The full Specifications for the patent illustrated has 9 pages and 4 drawings.
